To all whom t may concern.-

Be it known that I, EDWARD Y. MOORE, of Milwaukee, in the county ofMilwaukee and State of Wisconsin, have nvented a new and usefulImprovement in IVheels for Door- Hangers, of which the following is adescription, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which area part of this speciica'tion.

My improved wheel is adapted for use in a door hanger, such as isdescribed in Letters Patent of the United States No. L152,97 9,issued tome on May 2G, 1891, and in analogous devices.

This improved wheel is simple in construction, is inexpensivelymanufactured,` and is strong and enduring for the use for which suchwheels are usually employed.

In the drawings, Figure l, is a side elevation of one of the disks ofwhich myimproved wheel is composed. Fig. 2, is a central transversesection of the wheel on line 2-2 of Fig. 1. Fig. 3, is a centraltransverse section of a slightly modified form of the wheel. 4

My improved wheel is constructed of sheet metal, preferably of sheetsteel, and is formed in two duplicate parts. Each of these partsconsists of a disk A cut and swaged into-the form shown in Fig. l,having a laterally projecting annular flange 'hub l5, a radiallyextending web C, a laterally projecting annular shoulder D, and aperipheral fiange E exteriorly of the shoulder and at an oblique orright angle thereto. Two such disks being placed together back to back,forni a wheel having a hollow hub, adapted to be mounted loosely on anaxle indicated, in dotted lines at II, (Fig. 2) and a peripheral grooveI, between the flanges E E, the shoulders I) D forming the bottoni ofthe groove and the tread of the wheel. These two disks may be Securedrigidly together by rivets K, shown in the modified form illustrated in1`ig.3,but I prefer to form tongues LL cut from the web 0f each disk,which are arranged t register with and enter corresponding slots M M inthe abutting and duplicate disk. For properly disposing these tonguesand slots with` reference to each other, theyare conveniently andpreferably arranged in pairs, diametrically opposite each other, and atequal distances on opposite sides of the center of the disk. Thesetongues L L are thrust througn the slots M M of the abutting disk asshown in Fig. 2, and are then turned down on the outer surface of theweb of the other disk, thus clamping the two disks rigidly to eachother. In Fig. 2 one of the tongues L, is shown as turned down on theweb of the Wheel, the other tongue being shown as extended, being notyet turned down, thus clearly exhibiting the form of the tongue.

`What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,is-

1. A wheel for a door hanger,or analogous purpose, comprising two disksof sheet metal, duplicate in form secured rigidly to each other back toback, each disk being integral andincludingalaterallyprojectingannulartlange hub, a radially extendingweb, an annular bearing shoulder and a peripheral flange eX- teriorlyand radially of the annular shoulder, substantially as described.

2. A wheel for a door hangeror analogous purpose, comprising two disksof sheet metal, duplicate in form secured rigidly to each other back toback, each disk being integral and having a laterally projecting annularflange hub, a radially extending web, an annular hearing shoulder, aperipheral flange exteriorly radially of the annular shoulder, andtongues cnt from the web projecting laterally through registering slotsin the abutting disk and turned down thereon clamping the two disksrigidly to each other, substantially as described.

8. As an article of manufacture an integral disk of sheet metal,coinprisingan annular hub projecting laterally from the web, a webextending radially from the hub, tongues cut from the web and projectinglaterally therefrom, slots provided in the web adapted to register withand receive therein the tongues projecting frointhe web of a duplicatedisk, an annulaif'shoulder at the outer edge of thc web, and shoulder atal1/oblique or right anglo lo the shoulder, Substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I allix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
